I currently have an AGP Radeon 9250 and I think it's VESA 2.0 compliant. However, UNIVBE tells me it cannot locate a SVGA chip.
Duke3D runs fine in 800x600 VESA mode, but Shadow Warrior displays garbled messy graphics on its VESA mode setting. (I believe ShadowW requires VESA 2.0, perhaps Duke3d only needs version 1.0, and my Radeon 9250 is having problems with VESA 2.0?)
I'm thinking of changing the Radeon for something else which has maybe better VESA support. Would nVidia 5200 be a wise choice? (Any other suggestions very welcome.)
Current rig = Radeon 9250 (AGP), 2 x Voodoo2 SLI (PCI).
Thanks a lot for any thoughs, best regards, Robert.
